Boosting transport infrastructure and logistic operational levers as strategic enablers for competitive trade in Africa

The 11th annual Transport Evolution Africa Forum & Expo, Africa’s only port, rail, and road meeting place, returns to Durban, South Africa in 2023. 

This is THE annual gathering of local, regional, and international public and private stakeholders, who plan, build, invest-in and supply to the development and maintenance of Africa’s ports, rail and road infrastructure.

The African transport industry is undergoing a massive evolution. An entire range of developments will fundamentally change the playing fields, from institutional structural transformation to innovation driven by digitisation and climate change.  The Transport Evolution Africa Forum & Expo is well placed and timed to showcase the latest projects and products, and to provide the industry with knowledge, experience and networking opportunities with a lens on current and future outlooks.

With partnership development, networking, knowledge sharing and project expansion at the heart of the Forum, Africa’s entire value chain actively participates to strengthen collaboration, initiate new projects and partnerships, and implement visionary objectives.
